The news of a devastating missile attack on a grand estate in Ukraine, known as the "Harry Potter castle," has shaken the world. The attack occurred in the Black Sea port of Odesa, claiming the lives of at least two people and a beloved dog. It has also left eight others wounded, including a 12-year-old boy, as confirmed by the Odesa regional governor Oleh Kiper.
In a later update on Telegram, Governor Kiper shared that the number of injured has increased to 17, with two of them in critical condition. The heart-wrenching scene was captured on social media, showing the Kivalov mansion engulfed in flames and smoke billowing into the sky. The missile strike not only destroyed the estate but also caused damage to nearby houses.
In one of the images, a woman is seen on the ground, tending to her injured dog on the waterfront. She can be seen hugging the lifeless body of her pet, which was later wrapped in a nylon bag. A few meters away, another woman lies on the asphalt, surrounded by a pool of blood. The heartbreaking sight of the aftermath of the attack has left the world in shock.
Firefighters rushed to the scene to contain the fire, but the top half of the building was already engulfed in flames. Only the metal structure of the spires remained standing amidst the destruction. According to the public broadcaster Suspilne, the roof of the estate, which operated as a legal academy, has been severely damaged. It was also reported that the academy's president, a prominent former member of parliament, Serhiy Kivalov, was among the injured.
The Ukrainian Air Force had previously warned of a potential missile threat, making it even harder to intercept. However, despite the efforts to prevent such a tragedy, the attack could not be prevented. The entire world mourns the loss of lives and the destruction caused by this heinous act of violence. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families during this difficult time.
